Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 6:23 Go To Ephesians 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He invokes upon them, peace and love with faith. He says well: for he would not that they should have regard to love by itself, and mingle themselves with those of a different faith. Either he means this, or that above described, namely, that they should have faith also, so as to have a cheerful confidence of the good things to come. The peace which is towards God, and the love. And if there be peace, there will also be love; if love, there will be peace also. With faith, because without faith, love amounts to nothing; or rather love could not exist at all without it.
